That is clearly a bogus request.  I would say that a conversation
would qualify as a valid request IFF the message notification plugin
is set to raise the window.  As for notifications, I'm not willing to
say that they universally require attention.  Some of them are time
sensitive, such as file transfer requests, but most are not.  Buddy
pounce dialogs are certainly good candidates, as the user
specifically requested notification.
